Patent EP-0961696-A1 (EP)
Inventor: JONSSON OLAFUR
IPC: B29C48/00
Filed: 1996-08-15
Abstract: The invention concerns a method and equipment for mixing hard granules into tyre tread bodies and furthermore into sundry rubber strips and tread stock, whereby rubber stock (5) is extruded (2) into tread bands (6) of a suitable shape which are rolled under control, in a suitable thickness and number of layers, in a circular process over a pre-treated tyre (9, 17) or other material (object) which is subsequently patterned and vulcanised. A distinctive feature of the invention is that the hard granules are distributed according to a predetermined configuration onto at least part of the surface of the extruded rubber tread band (6) before the next layer is rolled in a circular process onto the pre-treated tyre (9, 17), using dedicated equipment (1) so that the granules will be mixed into the patterned wearing surface of the tyre after profiling and vulcanisation.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé destiné au contrôle quantitatif in situ, par spectrométrie Raman, d'au moins un constituant d'une composition chimique. Ledit procédé consiste à irradier au moyen d'une source de rayonnement sensiblement monochromatique une matière de référence et une composition chimique contenant au moins un constituant, ledit rayonnement étant transmis de la source vers la composition chimique par un conduit d'excitation reliant la source à une sonde optique ayant une interface avec la composition chimique; à acquérir simultanément pour au moins deux longueurs d'onde des spectres Raman convolutionnés de la matière de référence et de la composition chimique au moyen d'un spectrographe, qui est relié à la sonde optique par un conduit de reprise; à sélectionner le spectre Raman normalisé de la matière de référence; à déterminer la fonction de convolution des spectres convolutionnés à partir du spectre Raman convolutionné et du spectre Raman normalisé de la matière de référence; à appliquer la fonction de convolution de façon à ajuster le spectre Raman convolutionné de la composition en vue de l'obtention du spectre Raman normalisé de la composition chimique; et à étalonner de manière préétablie le spectre Raman normalisé de la composition chimique. Ledit procédé permet d'établir avec précision la constitution chimique de la composition au moment de l'acquisition des spectres Raman convolutionnés.

pulp in a papermaking step an ionic water-soluble polymer produced by a polymerization
method for obtaining a dispersion of fine polymer particles by carrying out polymerization
under agitation in an aqueous salt solution capable of dissolving monomers but not the
produced polymer in the presence of a dispersant composed of a polymer electrolyte
soluble in the aqueous salt solution and then adding an anionic additive selected from the
group consisting of anionic colloidal silica, anionic (co)polymer, bentonite and a mixture

Abstract: La présente invention est fondée sur une corrélation existant entre deux lésions atténuatrices, propres à la souche cp45, et des défauts spécifiques présents dans le génome de cp45. Plus précisément, un niveau significatif d'atténuation de cp45, résultant de ses phénotypes sensibles à la température et adaptés au froid, est associé à une mutation du gène L de cp45. On a aussi découvert qu'une deuxième mutation du gène codant pour l'hémagglutinine-neuraminidase (HN) de la souche cp45 constitue une autre mutation atténuatrice. La corrélation existant entre ces deux lésions atténuatrices de cp45 et des gènes spécifiques ouvre la voie à des applications pratiques. On peut ainsi créer à présent des vaccins atténués contre d'autres virus de type 3 de la parainfluenza humaine (HPIV-3) de type sauvage et contre des virus autres que les HPIV-3, en incorporant les gènes mutés L et/ou HN de cp45 au génome d'un virus cible, ou bien on peut exprimer dans cp45 des gènes d'antigènes de surface provenant d'autres virus.

The composition of the present invention when used for an
insulation component member of a switch, improves the
insulation property after the cut-off of a large electric
current. More specifically, the composition of the present
invention can prevent the formation of the resin skin layer on
the surface of the molded product, so that the inorganic
compound which can be decomposed by the heat from the electric
arc to produce a gas which changes the free carbon and metal
vapor to nonconductive oxides can be present in the surface
layer of the molded product and the insulation property can be
secured even after the cut-off of the electric current.
